Urinary kallikrein and Na concentrations and Na/K ratio did not show any significant differences between normotensives and hypertensives, although urinary K concentrations were significantly lower in normotensives with a family history of essential hypertension than those without a family history of essential hypertension. In the normotensive group, there was a significant positive correlation between urinary kallikrein concentration and urinary K concentration, and a significant negative correlation between urinary kallikrein concentration and urinary Na/K ratio, but not in the hypertensive group. There was a significant positive correlation between urinary kallikrein concentration and systolic blood pressure in the systolic hypertensive group and the diastolic blood pressure in the diastolic hypertensive group, but not in the normotensive group. These results suggest that low urinary kallikrein excretion related to essential hypertension in adults may be an acquired condition.}, pages = {105--112}, title = {Urinary kallikrein and electrolyte concentrations in healthy children : with special reference to their and their parents' blood pressures}, volume = {33}, year = {1985} }
